If you are already a clever cloggs (tuk tuk haeyo!) then try reading this ‘Advanced’ piece at the bottom. What information do you recognise and what could you change to talk about yourself?

Annyeong! I wish you can help to give me the translation for the reading in lesson 3. I have tried to read it, but I have difficulties translating into english. Would you pls help me? Thanks beforehand.

Translation:
Hello! My name is Gareth. I live in Swansea and I was born in Swansea. Since I am a teacher I work at a school. I teach French and Spanish.

I have many interests. Nowadays I am learning (to play) the piano. As I started learning Korean 5 years ago, I (can) speak it well now (these days). In truth, I (can) speak many languages. I really love languages! In the future I really want to study Chinese, Korean and Japanese at University.

Football is also good (I like it too) and I have an interest in swimming. My favourite hobby is reading, it’s fun! My favourite books are books about the Korean language.
